Nadaq-listed DevvStream Corp. buys $10 million worth of Bitcoin and Solana as it looks to tokenize carbon credits
Quick Take The firm previously raised $300 million via senior secured convertible notes to purchase crypto. “Combined with the planned expansion of our credit facility, we believe we are strengthening our balance sheet and positioning DevvStream to execute on tokenizing high-value environmental assets at scale,” CEO Sunny Trin said in a statement.
Nadaq-listed DevvStream Corp. (ticker DEVS) has kicked off its crypto treasury strategy by deploying $10 million into Solana and Bitcoin, according to an announcement on Friday. The firm previously raised $300 million via senior secured convertible notes to purchase crypto.
DevvStream, a carbon management firm, is one among a litany of public companies looking to diversify their balance sheets using cryptocurrencies. These firms are increasingly turning to equity and debt sales to finance these operations, in a move kicked off by Bitcoin-only treasury firm Strategy.
“The Company believes Bitcoin provides a liquid, non-correlated store of value and that Solana’s high-throughput network supports the Company’s long-term objectives in, and the industry’s move towards, sustainability-linked tokenization,” DevvStream wrote in the statement.
On Friday, DevvStream also announced it is looking to expand an existing equity line of credit with Helena Global Investment Opportunities to $300 million, which would fund additional crypto purchases and “accelerate investment in digital and environmental infrastructure.”
Founded in 2021, DevvStream offers carbon credits for firms that develop renewable energy generation, energy efficiency improvements, and forest conservation initiatives.
A carbon credit is a tradable certificate representing one metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent that is either prevented from being emitted or removed from the atmosphere. Many in the blockchain industry have theorized that these tradable certificates — bought by firms looking to offset their carbon footprint — should be tokenized.
Many of the leading crypto carbon credit initiatives are built on the scalable Solana blockchain. The Solana Foundation itself purchases carbon credits to make the blockchain carbon neutral.
“Combined with the planned expansion of our credit facility, we believe we are strengthening our balance sheet and positioning DevvStream to execute on tokenizing high-value environmental assets at scale,” CEO Sunny Trin said in a statement.

Fed Voting Member Harker: Fighting Inflation Requires Faster, More Frequent Small Rate Adjustments, Be Vigilant Against Inflation Expectations Becoming Entrenched
Cleveland Federal Reserve President Loretta Mester believes that inflation pressures have spread beyond the energy sector, with AI investments and tariffs driving up costs. To prevent high inflation from becoming entrenched in the economy, she suggests that the Federal Reserve should consider smaller, quicker, and more frequent rate adjustments, rather than waiting for inflation pressures to accumulate and then taking larger actions. She did not explicitly support an interest rate hike in October, emphasizing policy transparency: explaining the response mechanism does not equate to committing to a specific rate path.
Will the US cancel 20-year Treasury bonds? BNP Paribas: It may trigger market panic; Citibank: Positioning 20-year bonds to outperform 10-year bonds
There are market rumors that the U.S. Treasury is considering cutting back or canceling the issuance of 20-year Treasury bonds, which were reinstated in 2020. The yield on 20-year bonds has long been higher than both 10-year and 30-year bonds, resulting in a "hump" in the yield curve and higher financing costs. The market is closely watching this Friday’s routine survey questionnaire, as well as whether a clear signal will be released in the quarterly refunding statement on November 4. Citi suggests positioning in advance, but BNP Paribas warns that such a move could be interpreted as a panic signal that policy tools have been exhausted.
